Higher Stall... Pro's & Con's

[Crazy Blu]

Where you from? id try phx transmissions 80e stall bout a 3000, & big torque numbers custom specd cam... Keep the gears 3.73s are great unless you plan on staying with 35s for life of truck... Imo youll be better off keeping the dusl pipe on the truck if u dont want lt's and just get the magnaflow with 2in2out built in.xpipe...

I've got a truck like this,with a built 6.0l...it has a 3200 stall,4.88's with 35in tires on a 20 in wheel..it sits at about 2,000 to 2,500 at 70 mph..it's got plenty and I mean plenty of take off!

4.88s are just flat out awesome.. "Flyin Low" a woman in my hometown has fabbed 9" with like 4.86s fords version of 4.88s and on gears, built trans, full boltons and mild tune I seen her go 9.0s in the 1/8th which is awesome especially for ext cab. I seen a cammed 5.3 rcsb not even break 8.99s in 1/8... Hes a member here.. Shes not but im trying to bring her aboard... She was featured in truckin once ill find the ad...

I bet in that big ass truck it feels light with those gears huh BuiltZ71?

But getting it to that point/bower band is the downer to this thing, especially off a light.

if your hunting low end power,long tubes will dissapoint you...mid rpms up are impressive. for the amount of a gear swap you can throw a stall in and see how you like that. it will let you go past the low rpm weakness. you can pick up a used stall for 400-600 all day. you will save labor and toss it in yourself in day. dont throw money at it.

x2 what elcd said about headers, if you do gears make it a big jump(IMO) i just went 3.73 to 4.30 not that big of diff. now if you did gears and stall i think you'd be golden.

Im thinking 4.56 and a torque converter. But Im guessing this is gonna run $3k? Eee - I may just go with the big D(iesel).

If you don't do your own work it gets pricey. Do you pay someone change the toilet paper in your bathroom, too?

Im pretty decent on engines and what not but gears is something I have not messed with much at all especially if lockers come into play. Also, I spend more time in the middle of the mountains then most, I would hate to be stranded due to me saving a few bucks, sometimes I have found its best to let a pro do it.

Point I was making is sometimes its not worth upgrading every single thing on a truck that may be not be best suited for my needs. I love power but need to pull a trailer long distances and not at 60 mph. This truck isn't the best on gas and only has a 22 gallon tank wich = lots of stops.

Doing your own work is great to a point, there is a point where some people will go and do foolish things they have no buisness doing and doing complete swap outs on stuff you have never messed with is that point of foolish things.

You pay someone to cut your hair too?
